Biography
Shuu Tsukiyama (Japanese: 月山 習, Hepburn: Tsukiyama Shū)
He came to be a fourth-year student studying Social Welfare at the Department of Human Sciences at Seinan Gakuin University.
After noticing the 'lovely gradation' in Misono Karube's eyes, Tsukiyama stalked her in her home and stole them by gouging them out; he then had them sautéd.
Tsukiyama later made an appearance at Anteiku, where he encountered Kaneki for the first time. After hearing about how Kaneki was able to confront the investigators — then noticing his enticing, unique scent — Tsukiyama took an interest in him. Aware of his unsavory reputation, Touka demanded that he leave. Though he complied, he promises Kaneki that they will meet again. Tsukiyama visited at Kamii University to meet Kaneki and discussed books with him and told him a little about himself, with an intent to befriend him. He asked Kaneki to accompany him to a coffee shop soon, and Kaneki hesitantly accepted his offer. Before they go to the coffee shop, Tsukiyama played a game of squash with him, where he noticed that Kaneki was not very athletic. He then assured him that the coffee would taste better if they work up a sweat first. At the coffee shop, Tsukiyama told him about his perspective as a gourmet. As the topic shifted, Tsukiyama gave Kaneki a book recommendation, titled La Physiologie du Goût (The Physiology of Taste) by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. After Kaneki got a paper cut from one of the pages, Tsukiyama gave him his handkerchief to soak the blood from the wound. However, in the anime, the book was replaced with the teacup that Tsukiyama crushed in his hand in a fit of rage when thinking about Rize; Kaneki cut himself on one of its ceramic shards and Tsukiyama handed him his handkerchief. After acquiring the bloodied handkerchief, he excused himself to the restroom where he indulged in the scent of Kaneki's blood. When they left the coffee shop, Kaneki asked Tsukiyama what he did about food. Tsukiyama, seeing this as an opportunity to invite Kaneki to the Ghoul Restaurant, does so. At the Ghoul Restaurant, Kaneki, yet unaware of Tsukiyama's real intentions, was separated from him so that the staff could "prepare" him; Kaneki was told to take a shower, dress in a tuxedo and stay in the waiting room.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Shuu Tsukiyama was a tall, attractive, young man with a gentle look likened to his mother's. He considered himself fashionable and usually dresses in European attire.

Tsukiyama appeared to be a confident, friendly, and intelligent ghoul. However, these were merely acts to lure his 'prey' into the Ghoul Restaurant and to conceal his eccentric, cruel, and selfish personality. He considered himself a strong predator who would seek to devour the finest meals he made of his "prey" and would not hesitate to resort to any merciless tactics in order to achieve his goals. As a result, he was disliked by most ghouls in the 20th ward. His interest in European literature and language was shown in his gestures and mannerisms, his dialogue often peppered with random phrases of English, French, and Italian. Family associates have likened his intellectual gestures to those of his young father.
